Icon


Harajuku and Shibuya are two popular shopping areas in Tokyo that attracted younger crowd. This time we've decided to explore adjacent Aoyama and Daikanyama area where boutiques are set in a smaller scale neiboghoods intermingled with residential and office buildings. These two areas are typically not as crowded and seem to attract older crowd.

It's common in Tokyo to see icon/content of western culture re-appeared in an unfamiliar setting and taking on a different reading . In this case I found some posters of Grace Kelly at the Daikanyama train station.
